This replacement door latch from Osompar is a brand-new, silver-finished assembly meant to match factory fit and function for the front driver-side upper door on specified Freightliner models. It replaces part numbers A1817847000, A18-17847-000, A1827783000, A18-27783-000 and HLK2029, and ships as one complete latch unit backed by a one-year warranty. The component is engineered to be a like-for-like swap that saves you time compared with sourcing OEM parts while providing tested reliability for heavy-use truck doors.
This Osompar latch is manufactured to match the original mounting points, bolt pattern, and actuator interface used on many Freightliner trucks from 1996 through 2008. Confirming your current part number or comparing the latch shape and mounting holes helps avoid fitment errors. If your truck uses any of the listed replacement numbers, this unit is intended to be compatible.
Installation is straightforward for a technician with standard hand tools and basic door trim removal experience. The latch installs using the factory fasteners and electrical connector locations; no modifications are required for correct mechanical alignment. If you encounter electrical connector differences, verify wiring harness compatibility before powering the door system.
The latch comes brand-new with a silver surface finish and has completed manufacturer quality checks focused on fit and durability. It replicates the factory latch geometry and actuator mounting to maintain door alignment and consistent locking action. A one-year warranty is provided to cover manufacturing defects under normal use.
Prior to purchase, cross-check the OEM numbers on your existing latch and compare physical mounting features to the replacement. If you are unsure, capture a photo of the installed latch and wiring harness and contact the seller or a qualified parts technician for verification. Doing this prevents returns and ensures you receive the correct component for your truck model and year.
Who is this for: This Osompar front driver-side upper door latch assembly is intended for fleet mechanics, owner-operators, and repair shops replacing worn or failed door latches on Freightliner Century, Columbia, and FLD120 trucks from 1996–2008. It's suited to anyone seeking a direct-fit, cost-effective alternative to OEM parts that preserves factory installation points and door function. If you need assistance confirming fitment, contact the seller with your truck's VIN, year, and current latch part number before buying.
Q: Does this latch replace OEM part A1817847000?

Q: Is the latch compatible with a 2004 Freightliner Columbia?
A: Yes. It is compatible with Freightliner Columbia models from 1996 through 2008, including 2004.
